Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 cup crushed tortilla chips
• 2 cups canned tomato soup
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• Extra cilantro for garnish

How to Make Cheesy Mexican Egg Soufflé

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized soufflé dish or oven-safe skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, baking powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, and crushed tortilla chips until evenly distributed.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared soufflé dish, filling it about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the soufflé is puffed up and golden brown on top.
6. While the soufflé is baking, heat the tomato soup in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Stir in the sour cream until smooth.
7. Once the soufflé is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
8. Serve the cheesy egg soufflé warm, accompanied by the creamy tomato soup, and garnish with extra cilantro if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for a fluffier soufflé.
• Don’t overmix the egg mixture; folding gently will keep the soufflé light.
• For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the egg mixture.
• Keep an eye on the soufflé while baking; if it starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil.

Easy Variations

• Swap the cheddar cheese for pepper jack or feta for a different flavor profile.
• Incorporate sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for added nutrition.
• Use homemade tomato soup for a fresher taste, or try a roasted red pepper soup for a twist.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh avocado salad with lime dressing.
• Crispy bacon or chorizo for a hearty side.
• Freshly baked biscuits or crusty bread for dipping in soup.
• A zesty fruit salad to balance the savory flavors.
